Before the builder warranty expires

11-month warranty inspections for new construction homeowners

A new home can still develop issues during the first year. This inspection helps you document defects, settling, and incomplete work while the builder is still on the hook to respond.

What often shows up in the first year

New construction homes still go through real wear during the first seasons of occupancy. Materials settle, systems get used, and installation shortcuts can start showing themselves after the excitement of move-in has faded.

Drywall cracks and nail pops: Common signs of settling or finish issues.
Roofing, flashing, or drainage concerns: Problems that may not have been obvious at closing.
HVAC, plumbing, or duct issues: Missed connections, leaks, and performance concerns can surface after months of use.

How this helps with the builder conversation

We inspect the home with the same disciplined approach used for a standard full-home inspection, then organize the findings into a practical report you can share with the builder's warranty department.

That gives you documentation that is easier to act on than a homeowner punch list built from memory alone.

Strong fit for

Owners approaching the end of a 1-year builder warranty.
Homes that have been through all seasons since move-in.

Clear reporting keeps the conversation practical

The goal is not to turn every cosmetic quirk into a dispute. It is to document the issues that matter and help you address them while coverage is still in place.
